Therapeutic Classification of drugs Flashcards
Provides structure to the body and protects internal organs
Skeletal System
supports the body and allows it to move
Muscular System
breaks down food and absorbs its nutrients
Digestive System
takes in oxygen and releases waste gases
Respiratory System
controls sensation, thought, movement, and virtually all other body activities
Nervous System
transports oxygen, nutrients, and other substances to cells and carries away wastes
Circulatory System
Medication are classified in Various ways:
- By chemical properties
- Route/mode of administration
- Biological system affected
*Therapeutic effects
aimed at making available and accessible, essential medicines of proven efficacy, safety and quality at affordable cost. Categorized and classified the drug terms.
PNDF- Philippine National Drug
2 types of Nervous System
- Central NS
- Peripheral NS
made up of the brain and spinal cord
Central NS
consists of nerves that connect the brain and spinal cord to the rest of the body.
Peripheral NS
2 types of
1. General Anesthetic (A. ANESTHETIC)
- Inhalational agents
- Intravenous agents
the action of inhaling or breathing in
Inhalational agents
(nitrous oxide, halothane, isoflurane, desflurane, sevoflurane, most commonly used agents in practice today) are used for induction and maintenance of general anesthesia in the operating room.
Inhalational agents/Inhalation anesthetics
- Inducing agents (Intravenous)
- Thiopentone
- Propofol
- Benzodiazepines-slow acting (Intravenous)
- Diazepam
- Lorazepam
- Midazolam
- Dissociative anesthesia: (Intravenous)
- Ketamine
- Neurolept analgesia(Intravenous)
- Fentanyl
- Gas(inhalation)
-Nitrous Oxide
- Volatile Liquids: (Inhalation)
- Ether
- Halothane
- Enflurance
- Isoflurance
- Desflurance
- Sevoflurance
- Adjuvants and Oxygen (A. Anesthetics)
a. Non-opioid analgesics
b. Opioid analgesics
c. Neuromuscular blockers
d. Cholinesterase inhibitors
e. Anxiolytics
f. Anticholinergics
g. Sympathomimetics
h. Beta adrenoceptor blockers
i. Oxygen
j. Local Anesthetics
Analgesic that do not alter perception (Ex. Paracetamol, Ibuprofen, Naproxen)
Non-opioid analgesics
Analgesics has psychoactive chemicals that resembles morphine (Ex. Fentanyl, Codeine, Oxycodone)
Opioid analgesics
Causing paralysis of the affected skeletal muscle (Ex. Atracurium, Cistracurium, Pancuronium)
Neuromuscular blockers
Enzymes that hydrolyzes esters of choline, a neutrotransmitter (Ex. Physostigmine, Neostigmine, Edrophonium)
Cholinesterase inhibitors
anti-panic (Ex. Clonazepam, Lorazepam, Diazepam)
Anxiolytics
Inhibit activity of acetylcholine (Ex. Atropine, Ipratropium, Tiotropium)
Anticholinergics
mimic effects of transmitter substances of SNS (Ex. Epinephrine, Norepinephrine, Dopamine)
Sympathomimetics
inhibit hypertension (Ex. Atenolol, Metoprolol, Carvedilol)
Beta Adrenoceptor Blockers
Ex. Lidocaine, Prilocaine
Local Anesthetics
Medicines for Pain management
- Non-opioid analgesics
- Opioid analgesics
- Meds for neuropathic pain
Psychopharmacological Agents
- Antidepressants
- Antipsychotics
- Anxiolytics
- Hypnotics (sleeping pills)
- Mood stabilizer (bipolar disorder)
Antipsychotics
- Atypical antipsychotics
- Typical antipsychotics
deposits of crystals in synovial joints
Antigout
- For Acute Gout
Ex. Colchicine, Indomethacin
- For chronic gout
Ex. Allopurinol, Probenecid
Low bone mass leading to bone fragility and increased fracture risk
Anti-osteoporosis medicines
- anti-resorptive agents
a. Bisphosphonates
b. HRT- Hormone replacement therapy
c. SERM- Selective estrogen receptor modulation
Vitamins and Minerals

Chronis progressive inflammatory disorder of unknown cause inflammation leads to issue proliferation “pannus formation”
Disease-Modifying Antirheumatic Drugs (DMARD’s)
Non-steroidal Anti-inflamatory drugs (NSAID’s)
- Non-selective COX inhibitor (common side effect is GI distress, peptic ulcer)
- Selective COX inhibitor
Skeletal Muscle relaxants: relax smooth muscle
- Spasmolytics
- Neuromuscular Blockers
Neuromuscular Blockers
a. Depolarizing Agents
b. Non-depolarizing Agents
Disease-Modifying Antirheumatic Drugs (DMARD’s)
Ex. Methotrexate, Leflunamide, Hydroxychloroquine, Sulfasalzine
Non-selective COX inhibitor
Ex. Aspirin, Ketoroloc, Indomethacin, Naproxen, Meloxicam, Mefenamic Acid
Spasmolytics
Ex. Dicyclomine, Pinaverium bromide, Otilonium bromide, Mebeverine
